   Lecuyer's has put together a lease on over 13,000 acre's of wood's and farmland, 45 miles south west of the lodge. 5 farms encompassing 68 separate pieces of Prime hunting property. We have exclusive hunting rights for several years on all the properties. Together with each land owner we are managing both the type of hunt and number of hunters. Unlike the Island/ bush hunts, here we are stand hunting only. We have built some of the finest tower stands anywhere. Being 18' off the ground, with a building 6' by 4' by 6' high. Shooting lanes out all 4 sides, padded swivel seat and urinal, they are very comfortable. Along with the tower blinds we also use the new giant bail blinds and ladder stands. All are over Alfalfa fields on the timbers edge and river bottoms. This small pocket of Ontario grows some of the richest Alfalfa in the world! The deer love it. There are plenty of river bottoms and watering holes scattered throughout the land. Here, we do two, 7.5 day hunts, taking only up to a maximum of 24 hunters in one season. For those who do not like to walk, this is the hunt for you. You will see plenty of deer each day. Our guides will transport you and you party to your blinds each day.

   Here we provide one pro guide for each two hunters. Your guide will be spotting off a different stand for you, in case you may not see something you like. Managing the hunt was the only way in which these farms would allow this land to be hunted for the first time. Should you book with a party of 8 or more hunters in your group, we will not take any other hunters on the farms the same time. Ontario host the largest white tail deer herd in Canada. (2004 stats) This hunting zone host one of the highest deer densities in the entire province. This is the same deer herd as in northern Minnesota. The state of Minnesota has the highest number of record book bucks, in the top 50 ever taken. Some of our land is actually just on the other side of the river that separates Canada from Minnesota. The difference being, you will not have a million hunters walking through the woods with you. This is a great opportunity to harvest a Canadian trophy of your own. Our package is all inclusive with no ad on trophy fee's. We look forward to having you join us on this trophy Canadian white tail hunt.

   Long before the great turnaround in the deer herds south of the Canadian border, this was the area known as the place to go if you were going to bag a big deer with heavy racks. And you know what? It still is! But if you're looking for a fenced-in hunt like you'd get elsewhere, forget it. This is still and will always be the untamed north country. There are no sections quartered off, no roads every ¼ mile. Just a lot of great forested hunting land.

   We are hunting on over one million acres of government land. Over 80% of our hunts are done on they many islands and peninsulas that are on our lake. To grasp the tremendous mass of area we are hunting, you should first know this. The lake has over one million surface acres of water. Over 14,684 islands, more than 65,000 miles of shore line. Fact is, we need not ever hunt the same island or peninsula more than once. Providing every group that hunts with us, fresh untouched or previously disturbed trophy white tail opportunities. You will not ever see another orange hunting jacket except for your group!..

There are over 1 million acres of boreal forest surrounding undoubtedly the finest forage, cover and protection that make for bigger, older deer. This is the best place for reclusive old bucks to get away from the hunting pressure. This is not a hunt for the weak or timid. This is perhaps the finest, true trophy white tail hunt left in north America. You must be in relatively good shape, as you may expect to walk 2 - 8 miles a day. You may also harvest a timber wolf at no extra charge on this hunt.

   Less than 10 % of mature bucks in this area are harvested by hunters!... average age of deer harvested, 4.5 - 7.5 years of age. More mature bucks here, are killed by timber wolves and the winters that are so hard on old bucks!...

On still, sunny mornings or afternoons, you hear the sounds of songbirds and other wildlife playing melodies for you. Then, suddenly, you’re startled by the thundering sounds of feathers beating in the still air. Your gun comes up...lightning in speed by this time your bird banks a hard 90 strait into the bush, get the picture! There are miles of logging trails, and we also have our own special trails, no need to walk through the thick bush here. A very relaxing style of upland game hunting with plenty of close range shots.
